Two perspectives on Computer Science are: one that emphasizes technological achievement and one that puts more emphasis on the science nature of Computer Science. Both are important for the advancement of Computer Science. This talk will deal more with a view of Computer Science that is more general than its technological significance by emphasizing its overlap with an area of study referred to as Systems Science. This perspective is useful in embedding Computational studies in a broader scientific context as well as for both the research that it motivates and for its educational implications. A focussing aspect of the talk will deal with computational aspects of ‘'the process of investigating the possibilities of reconstructing desirable properties of overall systems from knowledge of the corresponding properties of their various subsystems'. This area of study is often referred to as Reconstructabiliy Analysis.
Many of the concepts, problems, and techniques associated with Reconstructability Analysis have been studied and developed in less consciously 'system' oriented contexts for decades, or even centuries. But, other than those that had evolved from (or into) mathematical areas, there was relatively little of this past work that was used outside of the context in which it was developed. Reconstructability Analysis (RA) - introduced in 1979 as an identifiable methodological area of study - was intended to provide a cohesive organizational framework to study problems of decomposition, simplification, and identification of complex systems, and to develop results that would be widely applicable. This general framework point of view is one that has become increasingly important for Computer Science.
Two problems in RA that were recognized as fundamental from the
beginning were:
1) the characterization of the space of all possible (discrete)
models and development of the ability to generate important
subclasses of this space;
2) study and development of appropriate techniques to uate models
in these subclasses.
These problems are computationally difficult and their study has
been greatly enhanced in recent times by advances in Computer
Science. Despite significant progress, the problems are
nevertheless open-ended and not completely resolvable. Thirty years
later, it is relevant that in the intervening years Computer
Science has grown dramatically and much of the methodological
perspective motivating RA has been encompassed within that
discipline. Not surprisingly, a number of important results
associated with RA have direct applicability in areas that are
essentially mainstream Computer Science.
Over the years there have been a reasonable number of technical results, some very focussed, some of significance mainly to a particular application area, and some of more general significance and applicability. There are a number of expository papers and overviews from different perspectives, where many of the results associated with RA are elaborated. This talk will refer to some of these but its main focus will be on the two main problems referred to above and on the benefits that have resulted and benefits that can result from more conscious interaction between system ideas such as RA and other general areas of methodological study recognized as important in Computer Science.
Some of these areas are: Database Theory, Genetic Algorithms, Neural Nets, Computational Learning Theory, Graphical Models, Constraint Satisfaction Problems, and Bayesian Networks. Illustrations will be drawn from one or more of these areas to illustrate benefits associated with this perspective.

The Melbourne Model – Engineering
Prof. Iven Mareels
Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, the University of Melbourne
Engineering education in the
21st
The Melbourne Model presents a three tier higher
education framework. Specifically for engineering, the phases are
Bachelor of 3 year, followed by a Master of Engineering of two or 3
years in duration followed by a PhD of at least 3years duration. In
the first 3year phase, students obtain a broadly based education
that exposes them to depth in a particular discipline as well as
breadth which provides a context within society for this depth. The
emphasis is to achieve a number of graduate attributes that enable
the successful students to become life-long learners, and
importantly that are able to be effective in team environments.
As such electrical and mechanical engineering for example
stay indistinguishable to the student until the
3rd
This second phase leads to the Master of Engineering, and may take two or three years depending how extensive the technical and scientific preparation was in the first tier. In the final tier the students receive individual training at the forefront of engineering thinking and study towards either a Master of Philosophy or Doctor of Philosophy in a chosen area.
In this talk Iven Mareels will present some of the background philosophy, the design work and process followed towards the new degree structure, as well as the required investments in teaching and learning spaces to facilitate the educational philosophy and reflect on the first two years of implementation at Melbourne.
Previously he was a Reader at the Australian National University (1990-1996), a lecturer at the University of Newcastle (1988-1990) and the University of Gent (1986-1988).
He has received several awards in recognition of his research and teaching. He was a recipient of a 2008 Clunies Ross Award, Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering for his work on Smart Irrigation Systems, work that was also featured at the 2005 IFAC World Congress in Prague at a semi-plenary. In 2007 he received the inaugural Vice-Chancellor’s Knowledge Transfer Excellence award from the University of Melbourne, for his work in large scale irrigation systems with Rubicon Systems Australia. In 2005, he was named IEEE CSS Distinguished Lecturer, and in 1994 received the Vice-Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Teaching from the Australian National University. He was a co-editor in chief of Systems & Control Letters till December 2007. He has received several awards for his publications.
He is Fellow of the Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering, Australia, a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (USA), a member of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, a Fellow of the Institute of Engineers Australia, a founding member of the Asian Control Association, and a member of the organising committee for the Asian Control Conference and for the Mathematical Theory in Networks and Systems conference. Over the period Jan 2003-Dec 2005 he was a member of the Board of Governors of the Control Systems Society IEEE. He is registered with the Institute of Engineers Australia as a professional engineer. He is Chair of the National Committee for Automation, Control and Instrumentation (Australia) and is now Chair of the Technical Board of the International Federation of Automatic Control (and ex-officio Vice-President) for the triennium 2008-2011.
He has extensive experience in consulting for both industry
and government. He has strong interests in education. He has taught
a broad range of subjects in both mechanical and electrical
engineering curricula.
Iven Mareels has published widely, 3 research monographs, in excess of 100 journal publications and 200 conference publications. He holds 4 international patents. He has supervised to completion 29 PhD students and is currently supervising 7 PhD students.

Artists have always gravitated towards the leading technologies of their times as both the inspiration for and the means of producing their craft. At the same time, scientists and philosophers have looked to the arts as a means for exploring science and the world around us. As early as 500 BCE, Pythagoras used a monochord (an early single-stringed instrument) to explore the basics of wave propagation and the exponential relationship between wavelength and pitch. In the Renaissance, Da Vinci used a combination of art and engineering principles to lead a rebirth of intellectual thought and practice.
In the information age, the arts have been drivers for early developments in computational technologies, methods and research. In the mid 1950s, Hiller and Isaacson ran experiments in the use of Markov models to create 'virtual composers.' Hiller used these experiments to create the first 'computer music' composition, Illiac Suite, named for the Iliac computer upon which it was composed. This exploration was the beginning of a long history between artificial intelligence research and musical activities. Similarly, the largest driver of research in computer graphics technologies has been the video game industry. At the same time, film and visual effects accounts for many of the large Beowulf clusters in existence today.
This presentation will look at how the arts have served as logical drivers for scientific exploration and, specifically, the development of computational technologies and systems. Further, we will look at how the use of computational arts applications can be used as drivers for computer science education as a whole.
By example, we will look at recent developments at Louisiana State University, where interdisciplinary research in computational science has helped spawn new programs in undergraduate and graduate education in digital media within traditional disciplines of computer science, engineering, music, art, and mass communication. The Center for Computation & Technology has become the anchor for the Arts, Visualization, Advanced Technology and Research (AVATAR) Initiative, a campus-wide multidisciplinary program that explores new advances in computer music, digital art and design, computer graphics and interactive systems. Both undergraduate and graduate programs are developing around this research program, leading to innovative curricula across many disciplines united by foundations in computer science and engineering.

问：
ICCSE前3届会议录用的论文均已被ISTP检索，本届论文也将被ISTP检索已毫无悬念，为什么本次会议还要讲“会议论文将被ISTP检索但ICCSE不做任何承诺”？，同样ICCSE已办好了论文将被EI检索的所有必备手续，也还是要讲ICCSE“不做任何承诺”？
答：
是的， ICCSE 2009 已是IEEE 正式批复的会议，其论文集将由IEEE 出版，拥有如下的鉴别号。
IEEE Catalog
Number: CFP0989F
ISBN: 978-1-4244-3521-0 (CD-ROM version)
ISBN:
978-1-4244-3521-7 (Print version)
Library of Congress: 2008911100
因此，任何被录用的文章都将被IEEE Xplore 收录，并被同步到ISI Proceedings (原来称为 ISTP)以及Ei Compendex 收录。
按照常规在具备上述条件后任何会议的主办方基本上在征文通知中都是说“本次会议的论文将被EI和ISTP检索”。那么，为什么ICCSE的征文通知上还要注明对收录结果和收录时间不做承诺呢？
这是因为，检索机构是第三方独立机构，不受任何单位的约束。虽然我们已经取得各种各样的必备条件，并获得email或书面确认，但鉴于“检索过程”不是组委会能控制的，万一检索机构没有检索我们会议的论文，组委会是无法追究和强迫该机构的。因此组委会在征文通知上注明“不承诺”，仅是为了预防碰上这种“万一”时陷入被动局面。
问：
为什么今年的论文格式要求比前几年的要求严格许多？
答：
这是由于今年新增的IEEE Xplore 和Ei Compendex收录的原因。IEEE Xplore 有非常严格的格式审查机制，论文格式不符合标准，根本无法上传。因此，请投稿之前仔细阅读《投稿手册》，并使用IEEE PDF eXpress 检查您的论文格式。
